XII ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 
chapters he was preparing on the various forms of ancient in- 
closures in the United States. While thus engaged he ex- 
plored a large mound connected with one of the typical works 
in Paint creek valley, obtaining unexpected and important re- 
sults. The construction of this tumulus was found to be quite 
different from most of those in the same section examined by 
Messrs. Squier and Davis. 
WORK OF MR. J. W. EMMERT. 
Mr. Emmert devoted the few months in which he was em- 
ployed to the successful exploration of mounds in eastern 
Tennessee. Some important discoveries were made and addi- 
tional interesting facts were ascertained in regard to the mounds 
of that section. 
GENERAL FIELD STUDIES. 
WORK OF COL. GARRICK MALLERY. 
Early in the month of July Col. Garrick Mallery proceeded 
to Maine, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to continue inves- 
tigation into the pictographs of the Abnaki and Micmac Indians, 
which had been commenced in 1887. He first visited rocks in 
Maine, on the shore near Machiasport, and on Hog island, in 
Holmes bay, a part of Machias bay. In both localities pecked 
petroglyphs were found, aecurate copies of which were taken. 
Some of them had not before been reported. They are proba- 
bly of Abnaki origin, of either the Penobscot or the Passama- 
quoddy division, the rocks lying on the line of water commu- 
nication between the territories of those divisions. From Maine 
he proceeded to Kejemkoojik lake, on the border of Queens 
and Annapolis counties, Nova Scotia, and resumed the work 
of drawing and tracing the large number of petroglyphs found 
during the previous summer. Perfect copies were obtained of 
so many of them as to be amply sufficient for study and com- 
parison. These are incised petroglyphs, and were made by 
Micmacs. The country of the Malecites, on the St. Johns river, 
New Brunswick, was next visited. No petroglyphs were dis- 
covered, but a considerable amount of information was ob-
